Ge-ge-ge no nyobou 4/15

a.k.a. we've met, now let's get married!

Everyone is eating at the miai. Shigeru picks up a bowl of kai (shellfish), looks at it, and comments that it's hard to get in Tokyo. He talks a little with Genbee about his work on manga. Kinuyo (Shigeru's mother)  tries to hush Shigeru. Genbee makes a joke, and there is general laughter.

Then the matchmaker sneezes. And they realize that the little oil stove in the corner has gone out. The sister-in-law tries to pump it -- the voiceover explains that the oil stoves at that time required pumping to get the pressure. Then Genbee tries. Fumie is fretting, making hand motions... and suddenly says let me do it and stands up. Everyone looks up and up at her...
( And next we set a date? )

Next, Miyako is on the phone. The brothers are scrambling. Miyako gets off and tells Fumie that she goes to the beauty shop tomorrow (26th). Fumie writes it on the calendar, along with a red circle on the 28th and 30th. Wedding bells in store?
